Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 378
Chapter 378: The Unsolved Case
A week had passed since the last ghost-hunting mission. During this period of time, everything in the study room was as normal as usual.
However, even though it was normal, it was not completely unchanged.
Bai Yingying was introduced by lawyer an to a taekwondo dojo to learn fighting techniques. However, she would spend the rest of her time in the study room with Zhou Ze from two to five in the afternoon.
According to lawyer an, the female zombie had a body full of strength and a terrifying physique, but she did not know much about fighting techniques. Of course, she needed to learn this.
The Little Loli had once asked Bai Yingying how many pig trotters she had met when she went out?
After all, although the little loli kept calling them “Stupid zombies,”it could not be denied that Yingying looked like a really well-developed high school beauty. It was normal for her to not go out in the study room, but once she went out.., she would definitely attract a lot of attention.
Then, every day, Yingying would come back and chat with the Little Loli. Today, she broke the legs of a few big hoofs.
Indeed, with Yingying’s temper, she would only “Cry cry cry”to Zhou Ze,
the other men were all smelly,
her temper wasn’t as gentle and beautiful as it was in the study room,
when she had just woken up, Xu Qinglang had almost been killed by Bai Yingying.
Speaking of Lao Xu, he still locked himself in his room and drew talismans all day long. He basically did not go out except when it was time to cook.
He had something to cultivate,
but because he had more than twenty rooms,
and because he was addicted to his time as a chef and a start-up,
he had unknowingly wasted a lot of things,
with the appearance of his master who “Loved him very much”the last time,
lao Xu was so excited that he picked up his old stuff again.
It was the same for the death attendant. After lawyer an asked him to finish killing Naruto, he asked him to continue killing one piece king, causing the death attendant to be constantly mumbling ‘hello’and ‘baka’.
As for the old priest..,
lawyer an couldn’t be bothered with him. He was already 71 years old, so he didn’t want to bother with him anymore.
On the other hand, the old priest’s monkey..,
was often teased by lawyer an. At the same time, lawyer an would also make some potions for the monkey to soak in.
At first, the old priest was a little worried.
But when he saw that the monkey’s fur was becoming more and more lustrous and his spirit was getting better, he was relieved.
Since there were changes..,
there were naturally some that did not change.
There were no changes..,
only boss Zhou.
As usual, Zhou Ze went to bed at one point and got up at another. In the morning, he would lie there and bask in the sun while drinking… orange juice.
Regarding this, lawyer an could do nothing about it. However, during this period of time, Zhou Ze had been collecting a few souls every day. In addition to the accumulation of the past few days, Zhou Ze’s GPA had increased by a portion.
During this period of time, lawyer an was looking for local chronicles and maps when he had nothing to do,
he had previously promised to help Zhou Ze earn GPA points,
however, this was just like playing an online game to clear a dungeon,
he had to make a good guide first.
In short, ever since lawyer an had joined the study, there was finally someone who could do things. It could be considered as temporarily breaking away from boss Zhou’s “Salted fish”culture of setting an example.
..
This morning, when Zhou Ze was reading the newspaper, he saw Zhang Yanfeng, who was wearing a police uniform, walking down the stairs. He even stood in front of the mirror and tidied up his police appearance.
“You’re going to work?”Zhou Ze put down the newspaper and asked.
Old Zhang smiled and nodded. “The holiday is over. I’m officially going to work today.”
“While you’re getting younger, hurry up and find another partner. It seems that the age of a policeman’s marriage is relatively late. You look like you’re in your early thirties, so there’s a chance.”
“Go, go, go, don’t be so frivolous.”Zhang Yanfeng glared at Zhou Ze.
“I see that Zhang Feng’s wechat moments are already showing off his girlfriend. Did you see that?”
Zhang Yanfeng nodded.
“It’s pretty good. It means that he has gotten over the pain of losing his father and is starting a new life. So, you can also consider the second spring of the old tree.”
“This is my first day back at work. Why are you making it sound like I’m going to participate in ‘If You Don’t disturb me’?”
“You’re too kind.”
Zhang Yanfeng drove Xu Qinglang’s car away.
There were two cars parked in the parking area outside the study room. One was Old Xu’s car, and the other was lawyer an’s car. Usually, whoever wanted to use the car to go out would go to the counter to get the keys.
However, considering his profession, lawyer an’s car was a little high-end, so old Zhang still chose Old Xu’s car to drive away.
Zhou ze stretched his body,
he yawned,
he felt that these days were a little decadent,
guilty, guilty, guilty,
then he changed his position and continued to lie down,
he read the newspaper.
In less than an hour,
a car came back from outside the bookstore.
Zhou Ze turned his head to take a look, and then he was stunned for a moment, because Lao Zhang actually drove back again!
Something happened?
Didn’t go smoothly on the first day of work?
When Old Zhang walked in in a hurry..,
before Zhou Ze could ask any questions,
old Zhang impatiently sat down in front of Zhou Ze,
he took out a file,
and pushed it in front of Zhou Ze,
he said anxiously,
“Take a look at this file quickly.”
“…”Zhou Ze.
Boss Zhou felt that something was wrong,
he immediately asked,
“Hey, you’ve only been at work for less than an hour, and you already have a case?”
That wasn’t right either,
the case file that was just released was already done?
“No, I came back immediately after I went to report for work,”Zhang Yanfeng replied. “For this, I even refused the welcome dinner that the Bureau prepared for me at noon.”
To Zhang Yanfeng, he was very familiar with the people in the bureau, so he didn’t need to get to know them again.
“Then what do you mean now?”
Zhou ze asked.
“I’m investigating a case,”Zhang Yanfeng said matter-of-factly.
“Your investigation has nothing to do with me.”
Zhou ze waved his hand in disgust and leaned back.
In his previous life, Zhang Yanfeng always wanted him to help him investigate a case, and he even helped him operate the identity of a police consultant because in many cases, if he could “Communicate”with the spirit, the problem would be much easier to solve.
However, the police station consultant would only give you a medal and no salary. At most, he would give you a salted duck to bring back during the holidays.
Boss Zhou did not want to be a true public servant.
“How is it none of your business? I’m your subordinate now, right?”
“I can’t afford it.”
Zhou Ze quickly refused.
“My Business is also your business, right?”
“You’re exaggerating.”
“This case was left behind by an unsolved case 16 years ago. At that time, I had just entered the police station not long ago and had a deep impression of this case. It had never been solved and could be considered a knot in my heart.
In the past, I also knew that I had forced myself to trouble you to help me investigate the case.
Isn’t this..,
now my status has become the same as yours,
“I’m back at work, so helping me is also helping you, right?
“At the very least..,
“If I ask you to help me investigate the case again, I won’t have any psychological burden anymore. After all, we’re all on the same side now.”
Zhou Ze took a deep breath and finally understood. He pointed at Zhang Yanfeng and said, “Kid, you’ve already planned this all along, haven’t you?”
It was his first day at work, and he came back less than an hour after reporting. How could he say that it was a spur-of-the-moment idea? !
“Do me a favor, do me a favor.”Zhang Yanfeng was still begging Zhou Ze.
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”
I’m sorry,
i refuse,
and,
who Are You?
“What case?”The old priest came over to watch the show.
“The body-cutting case.”
Zhang Yanfeng replied.
“Yo, it’s quite scary.”The old priest spat out the melon seeds in his mouth. “I remember that there was a body-cutting case in Nanjing that was very popular in the past.”
“This is different from the case in Nanjing. This case was not publicized in Tongcheng at that time, so it did not cause a stir in public opinion. However, one thing is certain, the body was dismembered by the murderer.”
“Sigh.”
The old priest shook his head,
he picked up the file,
he took a look,
then, he looked around,
he asked, “Where’s the victim’s photo?”
“I didn’t find it,”Zhang Yanfeng said somewhat helplessly.
“You didn’t find it?”
“I remember that back then, our bureau did a very detailed investigation. We searched the missing persons and the nearby residents, but we didn’t find the victim’s identity.”
“Is it that exaggerated?”
“Sixteen years ago, the conditions for handling the case and the techniques of criminal investigation were not as good as they are now. The registration of the residents’identity information was also not as perfect as it is now.”.
“Most importantly..,
“We only found the parts of the victim’s muscle tissue that the murderer intentionally dropped. We didn’t even find the victim’s bones. The only thing we can be sure of is that the victim was a young woman, because the murderer deliberately threw out something.., “There was a piece of RF.”
The old priest licked his lips and sighed, “Animal.”
Old Zhang looked at Zhou Ze again. “Boss, there are too few valuable clues in this case. I really need your help.”
“Are you bored out of your mind? “Do you have to make such an unsolved case?”Zhou Ze found it funny. “An unsolved case that even the victim’s identity is not clear. I say, if I help you this time, do you plan to challenge the Nanjing case, the silver serial murder case, or the TA poisoning case next time?”
Zhou Ze felt that after returning to work with a corpse, Old Zhang had started to let go of himself.
It was probably the kind of..,
he was a person who had already died once, what else could he not let go of?
“Boss, the silver case was solved last year,”the old Taoist reminded in a low voice.
Zhou Ze glared at the old Taoist,
the old Taoist immediately shut up.
“According to the investigation at that time, the murderer should be the kind of person who threw a piece of flesh on a fixed road for many days. However, the number of pieces of flesh collected by the police is still very, very small, which is just the few pieces in the photo in the file.”
“Why?”Zhou ze asked.
“Because the murderer used plastic bags that were of relatively good quality at that time to wrap the meat. He would also wrap it in a paper box outside and place it by the side of the road.”
Many passers-by probably thought that someone had left the meat bought from the market.
So they brought it home,
to Cook,
to Eat.”
